ribl: output of ri program
rilap: parameters to control the program.
1: two integers that define the range of ribl to convert.
2: the lowest Ri value to print; lower values are given
a negative infinity symbol.
3: a sequence to put boxes around. If there is no sequence,
then no boxes will be used.
4: number of decimal places for Ri values.
5: capitalize: if the first character is u or c, it the sequence
and bases are uppercase. otherwise, they are lower case.
6: if the first character is h, \hline is put before and after
the labelatex, riblatex and senulatex.
7: if the first character is b, make a box around each Ri(b,l)
value corresponding to the sequence.
8: if the first character is b, make everything boldface.
headlatex: start of table format for LaTeX
labelatex: label line format for LaTeX
sequlatex: table format for LaTeX of the sequence as letters
senulatex: table format for LaTeX of the sequence as numbers
freqlatex: table format for LaTeX of the frequencies of bases
ribllatex: table format for LaTeX of the weight matrix with the
weights for the sequence boxed.
taillatex: end of table format for LaTeX
output: messages to the user
description
Read the ribl and reformat it so it can be used in a LaTeX table. Also
generate the sequence matrix, and box the sequence on the ribl table. The
program also supplies a table header, a label line and a tail. These can
be concatenated together. The user may can insert whatever they want
between parts or do other things to the table.
examples
This UNIX command concatenates the parts together:
rila
cat \
version \
headlatex \
morehead \
labelatex \
sequlatex \
senulatex \
midfigure \
labelatex \
ribllatex \
taillatex \
> tabular.tex
The user creates two files, morehead and midfigure.
Here is a rilap:
-3 6 two integers that define the range of ribl to convert.
-10 the lowest Ri value to print; lower values are given
caggtctgca
1 number of decimal places for Ri values
c u or c = upper case sequence and bases
h h = hlines given
b b = box the sequence on the ribl matrix
b b = boldface everything
rilap: parameters for rila version 1.39 or higher

bugs
A bug in LaTex will not allow one to read the taillatex in without getting
extra junk on the end of the table. You can either concatenate the parts
of the table together and read it all at once or you can supply your own
'\end{tabular}'.
